A facial recognition implementation for the Kinect for Windows API. Based on the Open CV EigenObjectRecognizer, but translated to managed C# so Emgu CV and all the nasty Open CV DLLs are no longer required!

NOTE: Now that the Kinect Toolkit includes both FaceTrackLib.dll and FaceTrackData.dll, this nuget package will no longer contain them.

Since the library no longer uses Emgu CV, installation is much easier!

• Step 1: Install Sacknet.KinectFacialRecognition from Nuget
• Step 2: FaceTrackLib.dll and FaceTrackData.dll should be installed as content files in the root of your project. Make sure they're set to copy to the output directory.

If you take a look at the demo project it should be fairly obvious, but all you have to do is:

• Create an object that implements IFrameSource (roll your own or use AllFramesReadyFrameSource)
• Create an instance of KinectFacialRecognitionEngine
• Call SetTargetFaces() to train the recognizer (if there's only one image it will always return a positive, I think this might be a bug)
• Listen to the RecognitionComplete event to get the results - if there's a match, the key will be set on the recognized face in the RecognitionResult

We currently only watch one skeleton at a time, and as such only one face will be tracked and recognized at a time. It shouldn't be too hard to upgrade the library to support two recognized faces at a time, but more than that will be impossible since the kinect only can recognize two skeletons at once.
